The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 53 - Outstaying Your Welcome

Oh god is it hot here in the UK. But soldier on, do a podcast!

After some news and updates, I talk about my first experiences with Long Shot: The Dice Game. Then I have a lot of news of upcoming games that have caught my interest including one of the most unique card drafting systems I've ever heard of. Finally I take a question from my Patreons who asked me what makes a game "take too long"?

Episode 53 - Outstaying Your Welcome

The Broken Meeple - a UK Board Games blog and podcast that reports on board and card games. Reviews, Top 5/10 lists, or just anything that's on my mind! One thing is for sure - I don't hold back and will speak my mind! 

In addition to this podcast I have a  YouTube channel that showcases review videos and Top 10 lists. Please feel free to check them out!

Episode 94 - UK GAMES EXPO 2024

Please check out the disclaimer at the beginning of the episode as I had a major audio issue that needs explaining.

A full episode devoted to the UKGE 2024. How to get there, tips and tricks, and games that I might check out while I'm there - though let's face it, there isn't a ton that's getting me excited.

Who Am I?

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!
